On Tuesday the Pastoral Search Committee brought in a candidate to interview for the position of Assistant Pastor. They unanimously gave an enthusiastic recommendation of him to the elders. The elders met with him and our response was to throw a couple of more logs on the fire that was beginning to blaze.
On Wednesday night I told Frank Matthews that it was our strong desire to bring him here to serve alongside us as we seek to experience and extend the grace of God to Gainesville. Earlier today-Thursday-- Frank called to say that God was calling him and his family here.
So, as we move along the elders would really want the people of Christ Community to meet the Matthews family. So, they will be with us June 2-4 to meet as many of you as possible. In addition to getting to know Christ Community more thoroughly, there are still bridges to be crossed with transferring his ministerial credentials to this area. Please be in prayer for all the logistics of this family's move to be with us.
You can read alot about Frank Matthews and his family here.
